Yes, the 80 lux model is the one you want. If 1.5 hours is okay for you in terms of battery life on high (with 4 high quality NiMH AA batteries), then this is the light to get.
I wish they produced the same philips light for dynamo. The dynamo is a 60 lux version, which is apparently more or less comparable to the B&M IQ Cyo.
